A great Thursday night just past. My fabulous friends Aaron and Dev had their launch party for their socially active clothing line, aujCollections. The clothing line is based around the notion of perpetuating the "old boys club" for young men, and the theme of the party was aptly named the Old Man Dance Party. Located at Social on Queen West, the party consisted of many beautiful people, plenty of free alcohol, and oodles of press types and cameras. Auj had created a scene at the front of the bar to look like a club, complete with persian carpets, brandy, overstuffed leather chairs, a gunrack, etc etc. They'd hired some old men and some models who inhabited the space, smoking pipes, playing golf into a rocks glass, and using the old typewriter. It was all very civilized.
The goal of the event was to welcome the collection to Toronto, and to create the final scene in the reality show featuring Aaron and Dev that will air on Star TV in who knows how many months. For me, it's all very exciting because I get to watch these two very young guys (20 and 22) get increasingly successful, and occasionally drag me along with them! As well, the fact that each item of clothing that they sell comes with a code, which can be used to get mentorship for becoming active in the community, makes me interested in these guys even more! I urge you to check out their site.
it was quit a night on queen st. w. when auj collections finally debuted. drinks were being past along as everyone came and took in the collection, being coamly styled by 6 gentleman in a posh english study setting. Nothing but praise and aw came from the onlookers, as style and social concience have finally been woven together into a t-shirt of all things.
i was thrilled to come, and you had a great turnout! congratulations! It was an awesome night, and i must say the clothes and the ideas you had to present them were very effective! i'm glad that everything is going well with you, and i would love to meet up for coffee or something, that would be great! keep in touch, id love to know what new and exciting things are going on with you.
Congrats on a great show on Thursday night. I really liked the collection. I'd like to photograph the Tied Cashmere Detailed T in turquoise for our September 7 issue.
